Turnkey Kitchen + Café Space | $50K FF&E | Alameda County

Alameda County, CA, US

Move-In Ready Step into a fully operational, professionally equipped kitchen and bistro space — no buildout required, no permits to pull. With over $50,000 in food-grade equipment already in place, this is a rare low-barrier entry point into one of California's most food-forward markets. The Space At 1,750 sq. ft., the layout supports both retail front-of-house service and high-volume back-of-house production simultaneously. The kitchen is built for serious output: a three-burner Chinese range, two stock ranges, a four-burner range, deep fryer, full walk-in cooler, three freezers (including a 3-door unit), refrigerated prep table, ice maker, and both a drink and wine fridge. Everything is in place for day-one operations. The Opportunity The current owners used this space for food production and are relocating to a larger facility — the business is available because they've outgrown it, not because of performance issues. That leaves the door open for: - A café or specialty coffee concept (neighboring deli drives consistent daily foot traffic) - A ghost kitchen or delivery-first brand (ideal kitchen infrastructure, parking on-site) - A catering or meal prep operation (high-capacity equipment, flexible layout) - A new restaurant concept with immediate dine-in or to-go capability Location & Lease Positioned next to a high-traffic deli in a desirable Alameda County corridor, the space benefits from built-in customer flow and convenient on-site parking — a genuine competitive advantage in this market. A favorable lease is in place at $5,964/month; lease terms available upon inquiry. The Ask $50,000 — representing the full value of furniture, fixtures, and equipment. Cash offers preferred. Inquire for full details including lease length and to schedule a walk-through.

What to know about manufacturing business acquisitions

GW

By George Wellmer

Cofounder & CEO

Key diligence, valuation, financing, and transition considerations for buyers evaluating manufacturing business acquisitions.

Inspect the equipment and the capex runway

Tour the floor with someone who knows the machines. Ask the age, maintenance history, and remaining life of every major asset, and budget for the replacements the seller has been deferring.

Quantify customer concentration

Many manufacturers have one or two accounts that make up most of revenue. Get a customer-by-customer breakdown and understand the switching costs that keep them.

Understand the working-capital cycle

Inventory, work-in-process, and receivables tie up real cash. Establish how much working capital the business needs to run and whether it is included in the deal.

Assess workforce and key-person risk

Skilled operators and a plant manager are often hard to replace in the short run. Identify who holds the know-how and what retention looks like after close.

Check environmental and regulatory exposure

Process chemicals, waste streams, and older facilities carry liability. A Phase I assessment and a review of permits and safety history are standard.

Separate real margins from owner add-backs

Scrutinize the add-backs in seller discretionary earnings. Equipment leases, related-party rent, and deferred maintenance can make the margins look better than they are.

Frequently Asked Questions

Answers to common buyer questions for this market.

Commonly yes. Tangible assets help with collateral, and qualification depends on clean financials, verifiable returns, and a seller who meets program requirements on the business side. Additionally, if real estate makes up a large component of the business's value, you can use a SBA 504 loan to finance the transaction.
